“…this is a beautiful book, which illustrates the advantages of collaboration and will appeal to an informed and diverse public with a similar interest and passion for modernist architecture. Geographers should write more books of this type.”Richard Baxter, Cultural Geographies

“The range of topics covered is one of its strong points; it also covers a good geographic range, which is refreshing for a book on post-war modernism.”Nicola Rutt, C20 Magazine

There has been a groundswell of interest in modernist architecture in recent years, particularly buildings from the second half of the twentieth century. Individuals and groups are engaging with modernist environments in the form of popular histories, documentaries and community projects, and digital and social media. Alongside this growing popularity however, many of these buildings are under threat from demolition and regeneration.

Modern Futures explores these trends, their connections, and how more popular and creative engagements might be used to inform the uncertain future of modernist architecture.
